With our high summer temperatures and drought conditions, it’s important to consider the best lawn variety for the Central Valley. There are several choices to consider, and what you consider the “best” will depend on your personal preferences and the conditions of your property.
For example, will your lawn get full sun all day? Is it in the shade? How much water can you devote to the lawn vs. the rest of your landscape? Does your lawn get a lot of foot traffic, or is fairly undisturbed?
Would you like to be able to skip a week of mowing without being that house on the street?
Here are some of the contenders for your pick of the “best lawn variety for the Central Valley”:
ZOYSIA
Zoysia grass is a soft, lush grass that can grow in a lot of different climates. It has a flexible blade so it won’t poke you if you sit on it. It tolerates foot traffic well, and it loves sun and shade.
Best of all, it’s one of the easy care lawns – only needing mowing every three to four weeks. It can take some time to grow in thick, but once it does, you’ll have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood.
UC VERDE BUFFALO GRASS
UC Verde Buffalo Grass is actually grown in Fresno making it the perfect grass to grow in your Central Valley yard. Once established, it only needs watering twice a week. It also requires fewer chemicals than other grasses because it is resistant to most turf damaging insects and diseases.
It is a drought tolerant grass, so it saves you money on water, and it’s environmentally friendly.
It also requires little maintenance, only needing mowing every three to four weeks for a manicured look.
TALL FESCUE GRASS
Fescue Grass is another drought resistant grass, making it a great lawn variety for the Central Valley.
It tolerates cold, heat, and shade. Tall Fescue grows quickly, but it requires little fertilizing and develops a deep root system.
SYNTHETIC LAWN
Synthetic lawn can be a great option for those who don’t have the time to mow the lawn or are no longer capable of doing so. It costs about twice as much as real grass, but it will last a long time with no maintenance. It also conserves a lot of water, saving you money in the long run.
